This solution works _great_ for me - but I'm sure there is room for
improvement. This is within the context of the symfony framework. The
related database objects often have inherent dependencies - no surprise
there. By allowing the user to add a required dependent
object(related_module) from the context of the primary object/module,
and not requiring him or her to go to a different window or tab to
accomplish this, I'm able to maintain continuity, lessening user
confusion (thank goodness!). Once the response from the post returns, I
add that info to the select for that related module in the current form.
var calling_document;
var module;
var related_module;
function add_related_object(module_p, related_module_p)
{
module = module_p;
related_module = related_module_p;
calling_document = document;
var opt = {
method: 'get',
on404: function(t) {
alert('Error 404: location "' + t.statusText + '" was
not found.');
},
// Handle other errors
onFailure: function(t) {
alert('Error ' + t.status + ' -- ' + t.statusText);
}
}
var url_text = "/index.php/" + related_module + "/create?pwc=1";
Dialog.confirm({url: url_text, options: opt},
{windowParameters: {className: "dialog",
width: 518, height: 660 },
okLabel: "Save",
ok: post_response});
}
function post_response()
{
var win = Windows.focusedWindow;
var data = Form.serialize(win.getId());
var select_id = module + "[" + related_module + "_id]";
var opt = {
method: 'post',
postBody: data,
onSuccess: function(originalRequest) {
add_option_to_select(originalRequest.responseText, select_id);
//the post will return the contents to be added to the
appropriate select in the form "value:text"
Dialog.closeInfo();
},
on404: function(t) {
alert('Error 404: location "' + t.statusText + '" was
not found.');
},
// Handle other errors
onFailure: function(t) {
alert('Error ' + t.status + ' -- ' + t.statusText);
}
}
var url_text = "/index.php/" + related_module + "/create?pwc=1";
new Ajax.Request(url_text, opt);
}
function add_option_to_select(new_option, select_element_id)
{
var option_elements = new_option.split(":");
original_select = calling_document.getElementById(select_element_id);
original_select.options[original_select.options.length] = new
Option(option_elements[1], option_elements[0], false, true);
}
